I created a one layer card today. The Seize the Birthday challenge is all about a clean and simple card. I added splatter, but I think it will still fit the CAS category.
I used two Stampin Up sets for this card: Happy Birthday to You and Go To Greetings. I stamped the images in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. The color palette I used is from Splitcoast Stampers CC915 Soft Suede, Pear Pizazz and Pale Papaya. I added a little Mango Melody on the berries and floral centers. I used a water brush to color the image, which give it a much softer tone for the cake.
I haven’t made a CAS card in quite a while. I keep wanting to add more to the card front, cut things out and pop them up, and just turn it into a card that is not CAS. It will mail easily this way.

Oh you did keep it CAS, at least for now. Sometimes I get the photo and post for CAS and then amend the card more to my liking.
I agree! I am sure I will not leave this totally CAS. I want layers. Thanks!
Beautiful single layer card. Love the soft, muted tones.
Beautiful CAS card with lovely soft colors.
Gorgeous CAS card, love the vintage feel with these colours, thankyou for playing along at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x
Thank you! I enjoyed the challenge.
I like the soft colors and the little splatter around the cake. It sure is a challenge to keep it clean and simple but your card fits the bill on that.
Thank you! Yes, I like layers, so CAS can be a chore.
It’s CAS as well as beautiful. Great job on this.
That is a beautiful cake and I think the splatter is fine as it is very pale.
